I would like to export my bookmarks from Netscape 7.0 to Internet Explorer 6.0...How would I go about doing this?

On Netscape, if I go to Manage Bookmarks, in Tools there is an option called 'export' . After clicking on this, where would I export the bookmarks file to (for putting into IE)?

In windows 98, bookmarks are usually stored in c:\windows\favorites .. try copying them into there.

If your directory structure is different, try this - open IE, add a website to Favorites, name it Testing456 (or anything else that's unique), save it in Favorites, then use Explore to find where (whch directory) windows stored that file.

I found it, gth04. The IE bookmarks were located in C:\Documents and Settings\my name\favorites.

I did what you said, by adding a website to IE Favorites but I didn't use Explorer to find it. Instead, I opened up the Favorites in IE, right-clicked the website and went to properties. This showed me the location, then I used Explorer and went to the location and there it was!

Thanks for leading me in the right direction (and for the quick reply also).

In INternet Explorer, you can also click on File -> Import/Export and it should take you through how to move your Netscape bookmarks to IE.
